Yeetmas 3 - Night 1 : And alas, the Angels did NOT sing.

[Mahaloth]

Hark the Archangels sing....or not!

Archangel has been fully wrapped and sent out of the building.

Archangel was the Mariah Carey Backup Doctor. Scum.

We enter Night 1 and this Night will extend through Christmas. We won't begin Day 1 until December 26(Sunday). 3PM Monday, December 26 27.

Feel free to chat here and discuss things.

Note: We moved from Sunday to Monday for end of Night.

Here is a countdown to the end of Night 1

[BillMc]

Strike one.......yeah!

[guiri]

There goes Silver Jam’s theory! Well done!

[Meeko]

So. I felt kinda awkward talking about how I missed EOD, when it was moments away. I am still not fully convinced of BC, overall, but. ... That's really all I was working on, as far as the game goes.

First Holiday season working full time [Retail Cashier] and... well, I've never felt further removed from Christmas than right now. And that says a lot, because I've felt it drifting for years now. :-\

I spent a majority of Today (Thursday) wrapping gifts. That is to say, all of my gifts this year. And then, after that I wanted to treat myself to Anchovy and Pineapple pizza, and use up my punch card. etc. etc. etc. so I did.

It is interesting, because while I did note that AA was leading for the vote, and well, I wasn't sure how to comment, or ""Act"" on it in the game. I'm never ever going to shake my paranoia, am I?



But hey! we got one, for once! Awesome.

[Meeko]

[Prof. Pepperwinkle]

Oh, how merry!

[Vanta Black]

Ho ho ho!

[raventhief]

HUZZAH! <Smashes glass> HUZZAH!

(much love AA and have an AAwesome Christmas)

[LightFoot]

Well you guys bagged a Mariah - good show!

Now we get to play the "was there a bus and who was driving it game"

I do like the phrase above
Have an AAwesome Christmas

YMMV

It seems Jan missed the first quote

Was there a bus and who was driving it.

Archangel. 12 posts, the only thing she really said about the game was that she couldn't understand anything.

Partly because of my suspicion and partly because there's already a vote on her.

Would really appreciate hearing more from others, particularly those who only posted early on D1.

6 suspects 2 FOSs 1 vote

193 BillMc votes AA

A sub is unlikely to be forthcoming over xmas, and I'd rather wrap someone who isn't able to play than someone who is. Plus how AA flips will shed some light on Jan's comment above

195 Swammi votes AA

And wrapping her has the meta-advantage of NOT depleting our pool of substitutes.

207 Mordenkainen votes AA

I've just been through the thread, and the oddest thing I have seen is Swammerdami's pseudo-votes for Archangel; both of them.

They are pseudo-votes because, although apparently proper, he has not repealed his vote for No Wrap. This is (iirc) not a game featuring multivotes; therefore he is still voting No Wrap.

If this is a simple error, it's probably a Town mark against him. If it's trying to obfuscate his true vote, well that will soon be seen when Day ends.

On the other hand, my hindbrain is screaming "that's odd and odd is suspicious" and urging me to vote Swammi. I think that ir is probably better to wait and see how Today's vote turns out.

I'm going to



for now, as it will be easier to eliminate her than try and find a sub less than two days before Christmas.

[LightFoot]

I put this together to look at it.

[LightFoot]

Pleo’s vote is early, weak and didn’t waver.

Vanta is suspicious of 8/18 players- votes AA partially for having a vote?

BillMc -reasonable explanation

Swammi- his earlier weak case and the sub issue- but post 168 that he refers to

Originally Posted by Swammerdami

I feel better about this vote knowing that it's just for "a player to be named later."

Isn’t a ‘case’ at all.

Mordenkainen-reads like a vote for Swammi is coming -but votes AA

[LightFoot]

Pleo could be vanilla town trying to pull a Mariah or Elf NK. Who knows. He could also be a cop and by claiming not doc is causing some confusion on his randing.

I wouldn’t take any stock in it Day 1 and let’s re-evaluate in a few days

This post was AFTER the cop claim.
[bolding mine above]

[TheCatsMeow]

I seriously misSed day 1 wrap. Uhh

[Dizzymrslizzy]

I didn’t know until today that Prof claimed cop. I missed it. It still doesn’t mean that Prof’s claim is true in any way shape or form. But sure come after me.

[Swammerdami]

On the matter of my votes and, especially, Unvote.

In single-vote games, ANY Unvote works. Unvote No Wrap, Unvote All, Unvote Vanta Black, Unvote ..., Unvote Richard Nixon — all of these clear off my vote and make the subsequent Vote valid. I was well aware of this because I've worked with the bot. I think many or most of the other Players are aware of this; iirc BC, for one, writes Unvote Something Whimsical when he unvotes.

So I Unvoted Vanta Black (instead of unvoting No Wrap) to fulfill a promise to Vanta. It was a joke promise, but I keep those too. Expect me to Unvote Vanta twice more this game ... if I live long enough.

I have no way to prove this, but my very early notes have "Scum" written next to Archangel. I don't even remember exactly why, but part of it was that her posts were all fluff. She had one vote at the time. But I don't like to join weakish wagons, especially on Day 1. (Angel is one of the very few players I tend to read correctly.) The following post was sincere; obviously the "one scum lean" referred to Angel:

Originally Posted by Swammerdami

I am NOT pushing for No_Wrap. I think we want to Wrap somebody. My No_Wrap vote was just my way of saying "I'm here! But Christmas cheer makes me reluctant to vote to Wrap any of my friends." ... Especially in the absence of any real case.

I DO have one scum lean already ... but I'm reluctant to vote her because I think of her as a special friend. There's still time; I will revisit later toDay.

Even after this post, two Players stated I was "pushing for No Wrap." Nope. Never did. When I "push" for a particular Wrap or policy, I'm ... vociferous.

For my first vote on Angel. I simply forgot to Unvote. Pepper called this to my attention; I didn't bother to correct it then; there was still time.

[Vanta Black]

Can somebody tell me how to pinpoint a Youtube video to start at a certain time? TIA.

Nay, let's set the record straight, it's actually 15/18. Or let's make it 16/18 atm because Prof. P did not get CCed. I only listed my top suspects in my lineup.

Now I have a new top suspect.

[Swammerdami]

Two ways.
(a) Simply append "&t=99" to the URL (assuming you want to start the video at the 99-second mark.
(b) Click Share. That will open a window inviting you to set a start time; that start time defaults to the current time in the Youtube. Click Copy.

(If you use method (b) You get a youtu.be URL instead of a youtube.com URL. No idea why Dont_Be_Evil, Inc. thinks this alternate URL is so wonderful.)

There are certain things I don't need to know.

[Vanta Black]

Thanks Swammi!

Here is the answer to my Name That Tune thing, that nobody got:

"Our Little Town" by the Heath Brothers, from God Rest Ye Merry Jazzmen (1981) Warning, contains jazz! Keep away from children! https://youtu.be/t2xm43w3IU0?t=35 Unfortunately I could not get it to work within the Youtube tags but...I think I got the start time right and this will take you there. If you go here and hear drippy sad music, go to :35 and start there. Also, there is something else afterward. These were not on the original recording, I don't know what they are. So I am not great at putting out a Name That Tune Question. Mistakes were made! 1. It's pretty obscure. I see that there are fewer than 700 views of this since 2016. (And my views (views? wrong word) were probably 20 of them. Although I have the CD, I have not had a CD player for a few years. Which is too bad because really this one is great all the way through and I would like to listen to it when not tethered to my laptop.) 2. My hint should have included notes, like Swammi's did. As it's a celeste or anyway some kind of bell I'm not sure if I got it right. G C-E-G, F#, G. 3. It's jazz, so the notes I gave were not even the main tune. Because jazz kind of winds around the main tune, this is the opening...uh, flourish I guess? I'll bet SOMEBODY would have got the main tune but this one, I think you had to know it, this specific version. 4. Add your criticism here!

[Silverjan]

Well done! I do, indeed, feel foolish.

[A Poor Shepherd Boy]

Joy!

Archangel, congrats on fooling me yet again. Goid luck with your home.

Sorry but you have lost me, Pleo had claimed very early on that he wasn't a doc, he said it again after Prof claimed so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

It was an observation-posted for reference- why be defensive?
We have not seen a cc and if you didn't notice then your vote was not because of it.

My post was directly related to the 8 you singled out.

Not sure what else can do for you to understand what I meant. guiri has the right of it

[Annoying Christmas Singer]

Good, one less Mariah…

Now someone go take her away from McDonalds… or tell her to eat some chicken nuggets and be quiet… cause that’s all I want for Christmas…

I have a request...it seems really cold to tell a player Merry Christmas you're fired just like that. So maybe you could sing a song in honor of our departed Mariah. I recommend "Blue Christmas."

[raventhief]

Merry yule and happy holidays and everything to my favorite bunch of heartless killers!

[Mahaloth]

Merry Christmas, you Mall Santas, Mariah Careys, and Elves on the Shelves!

Merry Christmas!

I’ll have a Blue Christmas
Without you…

I’ll be so blue…

[Annoying Christmas Singer]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

[Mahaloth]

I'm going to extend Night until 3PM Monday, December 27.

[Dizzymrslizzy]

My lack of being here should be resolved now.

My stress level has dropped dramatically from yesterday to today. My big Christmas Eve show I was in charge of all of the behind the scenes stuff on went really well! I’m very proud.

And then I rocked a big dinner for 12 yesterday!

Today Inslept in and it was glorious! I have off all week! And then calm! Merry Christmas all!

[Prof. Pepperwinkle]

Glad to hear it, Dizzy! Happy Holidays all!

A little holiday cheer!

No, it's not seasonal music. But it does have "Holiday" in the title.

Admitedly, it is an age test, before I regale all of you with the exploits of my "Well I guess a PS5 is out of the picture" contingency, that kinda, almost, but not quite, went off without a hitch.

[Christmas Sock]

I'm back! Was busy being stuffed with gifts this year.

I see we got a nice Mafia gift, a wrapped Mariah Carey. Nice.

[Christmas Sock]

Oh, where are my manners? Merry Christmas, everyone!

I’m guessing I’ll there’s two-thirds chance I’ll be dead at Dawn, so I’ll give what few reads I have.

Something about Prof. Pepperwinkle seemed off, but I can’t find the post now. Way too much out-of-game spam in Day One.

Meeko does not seem obvious Town. Not ready to accuse yet, though.

I have some Town leans, but will withhold.

The one where he claimed Cop and has not been counter-claimed?
